Sakura Minamida, Senior Product Manager at Square Enix, talked a little about Drakengard 3 on the PS Blog, revealing how the digital versions of Drakengard 3 won’t get access to the pre-order DLC, there are no plans to have the Standard Edition of Drakengard 3 available outside the Square Enix Online Store, and the Japanese VO DLC will be made available for sale at a later date to anyone who missed it.
